Popcorn got her annual shots today. Her bottom is sore and she's pretty stoned. I just tossed the sleepy bag on her, she was shivering.

"What'd I do to deserve this?"

Poor Popcorn. Hopefully she'll be harassing squirrels again tomorrow.

Holey Moley...

Took the pup to the vet tonight for a check-up. He's not even 6 months old...and he weighs 65.6 lbs.

He's gonna' be a big boy.


Had a training class with the breeder last Sat. and there were 2 other pups from a litter about a month behind his with a different mom. Duke was about twice the size of their pups and you could see the panic in their eyes wondering if their pups were going to get that big (probably won't). He's solid muscle and appears to be going through another spurt growing his frame. He gets longer, taller, and leaner...fills out...gets longer, taller, and leaner...repeat.

Really bummed, was back at the vet Tuesday to have Reba checked out and it sucked. She hates going to vet and gets pretty cranky about it. Muzzle cranky and dad is the only who can handle her there until the muzzle comes out and she just sighs and gives up. 110#'s of dead weight GSD.

We took her in about 3-4 weeks ago for lameness in front left leg. Diagnosed as ligament/tendon strain in elbow. Treatment - steriod/anti inflammatory and rest until swelling down and pain gone. Pretty much back to normal about week ago, we started back to play/work out very slowly watching for signs of pain/discomfort. All seemed good until Tuesday morning and she could barely get out of her kennel.

Vet got us in late Tuesday and this time I insisted we do xray. Turns out she has a Ununited Anconeal Process and it requires surgery to correct. Most common in large/giant breeds. Burmese Mtn dogs, GSD, Labs, GR.

Turns out I noticed a symptom/indicator between 4-6 mos and we and the vet flew right by it. Would have been ideal to fix at younger age.

Have appt for consult/exam next week with Colorado Canine Orthopedics in COS. Going to be expensive and suck. Large young GSD's make crappy patients.

Of course Reba doesn't get it, she just knows that dad won't run, jump and wrestle like he's supposed to and the eyes shame me. Even injured she would still go all out.

OUCH!!! Poor girl. Yeah, they don't understand taking it easy for healing. We had a GSD that just wouldn't quit even when he was about 12. He would try to keep up with us on camping trips and would just go-go-go...until he couldn't. He so wanted to be with us and was always willing to please.

110# is really big for a female. I hope queen Reba heals well and this is just a bump in the road to a long and healthy life in your pack.
